In Yanghewei, Datong Prefecture, Shanxi Province, the governor of the Qing Xuan Da, Ma Mingpei, paced anxiously in the governor's yamen, and suddenly stopped and asked left and right: "Is there an Anyang military newspaper?"

"Reported to the military newspaper of Governor Xian, Deputy General Chen and Deputy General Zhang said that they were attacking Anyang, and Anyang Chengjian would not be able to fight for the moment."

"Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda are the two fools, Anyang has no main force in the Ming army, and they can't fight for so long." Ma Mingpei, who has always been gentle, was so angry that he scolded the fool, stopped, and said, "If there is a military report from Anyang, report it to my governor quickly."

"Yeah!"

"Military newspaper!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another military newspaper came.

Ma Mingpei was happy. Could it be Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda captured Anyang? He asked: "But the military newspaper from Anyang?"

"Reported to the Governor Xian, General E Shuo of Guihuacheng, and General Liu Wu of Pingyang, urgently reported that Fan Youxian's troops of the Ming army had entered Pingyang Prefecture, and successively captured Jizhou, Xiangning, Taiping, and approached Xiangling."

??

Fan Youxian and Li Dingguo led an army of 50,000 into Pingyang Prefecture.

He attacked cities and villages along the way, captured three counties in a row, and approached Xiangling. The reason why it went so smoothly was that Jizhou, Xiangning and Taiping only had some garrison camps and no warriors. It was not until Xiangling that he encountered decent resistance.

Xiangling is the location of the tomb of Duke Xiang of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. Duke Xiang of Jin was gentle and elegant, good at adopting the proverbs, inherited Duke Wen of Jin and was a virtuous king of a generation.

The war disturbed Xianjun's mausoleum.

With Fan Youxian's order, Peng Mingyang, Chen Bao, Yang Bingyin and Yang Xianzhu attacked the city from all directions.

The Qing army guerrilla Zhao Liangdong fought to the death. His subordinates were only 3,000, but he had suppressed the rebels many times and fought big battles, and was very elite. Xiangling was next to the Fen River in the east, so the army could not be carried out. The Ming army could only attack the south, north and west.

The little Xiangling delayed the Ming army for five days.

On the fifth day, the city broke, Zhao Liangdong opened the east gate and took a small boat to cross the Fen River to escape.

"Dog traitor, come and take your time!"

With a loud shout, a small boat rowed, and a general stood on the bow of the boat, with a face like black charcoal. It was the general of Ming Dynasty, Li Zhanchun.

He took out the bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Liangdong with a "whisper" and was avoided by Zhao Liangdong.

"Shoot for me", Li Zhanchun was furious. More than ten personal soldiers around him fired arrows together. Zhao Liangdong was caught in several arrows and fell into the water and died.

More than a hundred Ming army boats were cruising in the Fen River, cleaning up the fish that had escaped the net.

The first battle to enter Jin was over, and the Ming army wiped out three thousand defenders.

??

Then he crossed the Fen River and advanced to the vicinity of Linfen, Pingyang Prefecture.

Linfen City is located at the intersection of Fen River and the Shui River. It has a herringbone terrain, surrounded by water on the east, west and north. Only Mingde Gate in the south, Wuding Gate in the east is suitable for attack, Heyi Gate in the west, and Zhenshuo Gate in the north, and the army cannot be opened.

In the city, General Dong E-Shuo, the General of Guihua City, discussed strategies to fight the enemy.

"Liu Zongzhen, our unit is a cavalry, suitable for field combat; Ru unit is an infantry, suitable for city defense. It is better for you to occupy the city and defend. I led the cavalry to camp in the field and harass the Ming army. How about it?"

E Shuo was the old Taishan of Emperor Shunzhi. How dare Liu Wu refuse to obey? He agreed immediately. Liu Wu led more than 17,000 infantry to defend the city, and E Shuo led 16,000 cavalry to station outside the city.

"General, Linfen is ahead. The traces of Qing cavalry were found outside the city, and the sentry probed Yu Pinglu General Fan Youxian.

Fan Youxian frowned as soon as he heard this. He was a veteran and knew the difficulty of cavalry. They could harass the troops siege everywhere, and attack the attacking party's food route. He chased you, one by one, one by one; if you chased him, two legs could not run four legs.

"General, when siege the city tomorrow, the siege army can be divided into two parts, one to attack the city and the other to guard against the enemy cavalry," Li Dingguo suggested.

Fan Youxian thought about it and praised him for being kind.

The next day, Fan Youxian ordered Peng Mingyang's troops to attack Mingde Gate, and Chen Bao's troops to cover it; Yang Bingyin's troops to attack Wuding Gate, and Zhou Shimin's troops to cover it; Li Zhanchun's troops to monitor Heyi Gate, and Yang Xianzhu's troops to monitor Zhenshuo Gate.

The sound of cannons rumbled and the smoke and dust rolled, and the battle in Linfen began.

Arrows on the city were like rain, guns and rocks flew everywhere; vehicles gathered under the city, and soldiers were like ants. The battle was in full swing.

On a mountain outside the city, E Shuo was watching with a thousand-mile mirror, and found that the city was gradually unable to support it, so he couldn't help but be anxious.

"Caval assault", he issued a general order.

"Ka~Ka~Ka~"

The three thousand cavalry of the lord's right wing banner, Bental and Ombu, the four-son king's flag, are the first formation; the three thousand cavalry of the lord's flag in front of Urat, middle, and the three thousand cavalry of the lord's flag in the back three flags in the second formation; the three thousand cavalry of the lord's commander Guluge of the Tumot's left wing banner are the third formation; the three thousand cavalry of the Tumot's right wing banner are the fourth formation; the three thousand cavalry of the lord's commander Toboke of the Tumot's right wing banner are the fourth formation; the three thousand personal soldiers of Eshuo are the fifth formation, and five crazes are the Mingde Gate.

"Raider! Archer, shoot!"

Chen Bao, the general of Ming Dynasty who covered Mingde Gate, was very happy. He was born as a guard of Zhu Hengjia, and was good at using a big slaughter (a mace) and had the courage to resist ten thousand men. This time he was ordered to cover Peng Mingyang's troops to attack the city, thinking that there was no war to fight. Unexpectedly, the Qing cavalry came. This was great, and he had made military achievements!

"Swoosh swish swish swish swish swish!"

The arrows were like rain, and they shot down the Qing cavalry.

Chen Bao's army was a veteran of all battles, and the gun formation was arranged very quickly. The Qing army rushed to face a lot of guns.

The nephew of the Qing army vanguard, Prince Bental of the Shuodarhan, was a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger. He rushed to the front, waved the Mongolian scimitar, and cut off a spearhead in front; "bang", a long spear in the back row stabbed like a poisonous snake, and the head of the Gunbu was lowered and dodged; "bang bang", two spears in the third row stabbed; "bang bang bang", three more spears came from the fourth row.

There were too many guns, and Gunbu couldn't escape, and there were a few more blood holes on his body and he fell to the ground.

"My son!"

Bentar's younger brother Benbashishi was extremely sad when he saw his son die tragically, so he wanted to go up and fight to the death.

Bental hurriedly grabbed it, "The Ming army formation is hard to shake, so it is over."

The Qing army flew across the military formation one after another. Seeing that Mingde Gate had no choice but to take advantage of it, E Shuo ordered to turn to Wuding Gate.

Zhou Shimin, the general of the Ming Dynasty who was responsible for covering Wudingmen, was the "Zhou Hero" who turned the earth upside down in northern Shaanxi.

"Array", Zhou Daxia yelled.

His subordinates have been organized into combat soldiers, and their weapons and equipment are no worse than those of other Ming troops, but after all, they are the foundation of the rebel army, and their combat formation cooperation is a bit worse.

E Shuo was a veteran who entered the pass from Long, and immediately commanded all units to attack from the weak areas of the Ming army.

Benbashixi rushed to the front, and he wanted to avenge his son.

Ming general Sun Chongya wanted to stop him, but was chopped into pieces by Benbashixi with an axe.

Bentar, Ombu took advantage of the situation to penetrate the Ming army formation and then turned around and rushed again. Tuba, Yanban, Bakbahai, Guluge, and Toboke's tribes arrived and rushed to the Ming army into pieces.

Zhou Shimin couldn't resist it, so he had to retreat. The retreating deputy general Zhu Yingkui was injured and fell off the horse's horse's hooves and died.

Yang Bingyin, the general who was attacking Wudingmen, saw that the situation was not good, immediately blew the retreat call.

"Ao~Ao~Ao~Ao~"

Mongolian soldiers roared and Yang's troops collapsed.

E Shuo went around to Zhenshuomen to the north again.

Outside Zhenshuomen, there were two thousand Jiarong soldiers who were the deputy envoy of Yang Xianzhu, who was the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty. The Tianquan Liuban in Sichuan was a Chinese-style Jiarong area. The Gao family and the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty were all hereditary chieftains.

Although these Jiarong soldiers were few, they were fierce and brave. When they saw that the cavalry did not escape, they rushed forward and chopped off the horse's legs with a heavy sword.

"Yu Yuyu!"

Qing general E Linqin was not careful for a moment, and someone chopped off his horse's legs and rolled down.

Before he could get up, he stepped on a big foot and a Jiarong soldier with a slutty face covered in a grim smiled and raised his hammer to smash it.

"Guluge, Toboke, and Ru surrounded them from both wings." Eshuo issued a general order to Guluge, the commander of the Tumot left wing banner, and Toboke, the commander of the right wing banner.

Two thousand Jiarong soldiers were surrounded by the Qing army. Although the entire army was wiped out, they also killed and injured more than a thousand cavalry.

E Shuo felt very distressed. The exchange ratio of cavalry to infantry is not cost-effective.

Turning to Heyi Gate, Li Zhanchun's troops had retreated to the Tupo in the north of the city and lined up to wait.

Seeing that the Ming army was in a strict formation, E Shuo was reluctant to consume the precious cavalry and ordered a retreat, and it went like flying, disappearing like a wind.

A good siege battle was a mess by the Qing cavalry.
